The 88-year-old pope is in stable condition, undergoing oxygen therapy as he progresses in his recovery.
Pope Francis is reported to be in stable condition as he begins his third week at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, according to the Vatican.
The 88-year-old pontiff is using both mechanical ventilation and high-flow oxygen therapy intermittently but has not had any further bronchospasms.
Vatican officials note that his white blood cell count is low, indicating that any infections are likely under control.
Despite his health challenges, the Pope is said to be in good spirits, able to move around, eat, and walk, although he has opted for rest rather than working with his secretaries.
He was first admitted to the hospital on February 14 due to suspected bronchitis, which was later diagnosed as bilateral pneumonia affecting his lungs.
Pope Francis has a history of respiratory problems, having had part of his lung removed at 21.
Catholics globally have been gathering in prayer for his recovery, including those outside the hospital where he is being treated.
At the National Prayer Breakfast, U.S. Vice President JD Vance spoke about the Pope's health, leading a prayer and acknowledging that while there have been differences between the Pope and the Trump administration, millions of Catholics in the U.S. are praying for his health and well-being.
